The man wanted to fit his Walther PPK pistol – familiar from the James Bond films – with a suitable silencer, as the Solothurn Administrative Court noted in a recently published judgement. In support of his application, the gun owner stated that he was a great fan of the famous spy films.
He already owned a gun of the same design as that used by the famous British spy. He now wished to purchase the appropriate accessory, as James Bond also fires with a silencer on the big screen, after all.
No recognised collectionThe cantonal firearms office and the relevant department rejected the application. The film fan challenged this decision in court, citing his alleged hobby as a collector. He argued that, amongst other things, he collected film props and required the accessory to complement his hobby. He also argued subsequently that he needed the silencer for specific shooting training sessions.
